The Congolese rumba, the cuarteto*, the negliubka textile custom from the Vetka district within the Gomet area (Belarus), the rod puppet from Brussels, the bagpipes from Bulgaria, the household circus in Chile, the apply of Cuban sound and even the artwork, traditions and know-how of the Moroccan caftan… This succession of initiatives, typically very specialised, is a part of the record of seventy-three information submitted to UNESCO with the intention of integrating the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Morocco obtained recognition of the Moroccan caftan on December 10, which gave rise to the standard feedback: “this international recognition crowns the efforts of the Kingdom of Morocco, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI.”
